WEEKLY OBSERVER
ERIE._ PENN'A. DECEMBER 17. 1868
The Observer has the Largest circulation
of any paper in N. W. Penn'a, either
pally or Weekly. On this point we
challenge contradiction. Its
titan extends to all places of importance
in Erie, Crawford, la - lumen and
go counties.
MI
WE TAKE this occasion to suggest whether
it is not a little too much Of a good thing to
ask publishers to contribute in money' to
every local enterprise that Li oiiginated, and
to give them the full benefif of their columns
besides : As the case stands'at present, they
are expected to advocate all these matters
through their papers, to do the printing at l
half price, and are about the first called upon
to furnish donations for the purpose of "giv :
ing them a start." It would seem no more
than reasonable that they should either be
allowed to Charge the usual rate for what
they do, or else' be relieved from Elie ad
ditional demands upon their charity in the
way of financial contributions. Publishers,
as a class, are willingto do their whole share
in helping every worthy object, but they
shield nut be expected to give three times
tn.,re in proportion than any oiler clan of
eiti7erc:.
Tats REPritmcxX press denounce Mr.
.Johnson s Message without stint, but of all
the' comments upon' it, those of the Corry
Republican "take the rag off the bush" for
dounright malice and indignity. Read,
'study and ponder over the depravity to
which poor human nature can descend in its
real to minister to the passion and promote
the interest of party: - - •
" The last will and testament of Andrew
.Tohnson is now before the American people.
It is a long windy affair and as insulting to
People and Congre-s as it is lengthy. We
have nut space to give this aggregation of
spleen and insult, nor even to review the
topics treated MI Congress diti right in re
fusing to give it even the usual formal ct
tesies. Imagine a man who thinks himself
wiser than all the world besideS, and shaggy
to insult every one who has the temerity to
differ with him, and you have Andrew
Johnson. Thank God, he will inflict nn
more of his insane caporings o n. the nation. "
NOW, it does really seem as if somple jtts
lice would induce the Republican to allow
its renders to see this important State paper.
and decide for ihemnelves ; but such is not
the spirit ()I extreme 'R,ttlicalint It fears
the intelligence of the people, and aims to
distort their jntlt:ment in advance, lest they
may happen to read the oflier:sids., and be
k t t In r, ii,oion over the political ,situation
of the country. Our admirathM of Mr.
Johnson's Administration; as is well known.
does not motint to a very high e standard, but
that circumstance cannot blind ns to the
troth that the Message is a Vera , able docu
ment, and one that deserves' the calm peru
sal (tt every citizen in the country. We
su , pect that the editor of the Republican has
never read it, and wrote at random what-he
supposed would be'st suit the taste of his
patrons.
ANOMER PROJECT TO DIVERT TRADE
FROM Ents:.—The following paragraph, front
the N. Y. Sun of last week, possesses pecu
liar interest to the citizens of Erie. Butlltld
has already ,druwa oaf a good portion of the
trade which forMerly came to Erie, by
means of the Cross-Cut road, and if she now
succeeds in tapping the Philadelphitv& Erie
at the point suggested, we may bid good-bye
at once to our dreams of prosperity from
that quarter. It is high time for the people
of Erie to he alert, and see whether, by es
tablishing manufactures or otherwise, it may
not be a possible thing to regain some of the
elements of prosperity which more active
rivals have succeeded in depriving us of :
"An adjourned meeting of the land
holders in Elk, McKean, and Cameron
counties...of Pennsylvania, was held yester
day afternoon at 71 Broadway, for the pur
pose of considering the practicability of con
structing a railroad connecting those coun
ties and their coal fields with the cities of
Bunt°, 11 ,, chester, and other places, and
the lakes, Mr. Ed. B. Bibbte, Chairman, pre
siding. After the regular business, Mr. Lib
by, President of the Citizens' Gas Company
of Brooklyn, stated that the coal taken from
nnms its .these counties was of excellent
quality,as he had found by actual use. The
Chairman then read from a report, showing
that the completion or the proposed railroad
would open out these coal fields to the New
York market and the railroads of this State,
also to those north, west, and east. On mo
tion it was resolved to solicit the Commis
sioners for receiving subscriptions to the
Northern Railroad and Navigation Company
01 Pennsylvania, to open books for subscrip
tion immediately in New York, Philadel
phia, and the counties above mentioned.
Other resolutions were passed encouraging
all property owners in those counties, and
others interested in the projected road, to
subscribe to the stock of the road. The
meeting then adjourned to the call of the
chair."

leaves Washington poor, where sri
many members of Congress have made for
tunes. He closes, for the present at least,
a political career which a little subserviency,
a little less rigid adherence to' his oath at
office and to the convictions of his conscience
would have enabled hiin to protract as long
us he pleased. And th'e country loses in its
national councils that which no government
can ta)rd to lose—political independence,
personal integrity, and moral courage.—N.

CITAUTAUQUA LANE —This beautiful sheet
of water, in Western Nig.: York, not far
from the Pennsylvania lint., is from two to
four miles in width, and from twenty-five to
thirty miles in length. Its elevation isgreat
cr than any of our lakes, or, in other words,
it is the highest known expanse of water of
any considerable size in the United States.
It is fed principally by springs, and small
streams or rivulets, flowing into' it from
many directions around its lovely borders.
On the shore of the Lake, near its center; is a
barn, from one side of the roof of which
w.ttcr flows to the Ohio river and thence to
the Mississippi, and from 'the other side to
the river St. Lawrence and the Atlantic
Ocean.
A TELEGRAM from New York says "the'
Erie Railroad Company has leased the At
lantic & Great Western Railroad for a term
of twelve years, upon condition of the Erie
company paying thirty per cent. of the gross
earnings of the leased road or a minimum of
$18,000,000 yearly in the event of the thirty
per cent. of earning falling below that
am;nint. The Erie Company engages to
keep the track, stations and rolling stock of
the A. & G. W. road in rep,tirs, and gives to
that Company the option of renewing the
lease at its evpiration. The arrangement
will give the A. &, G. W., Co. an amount
more than t utli.dent to cover the interest up
on its bonds due under the recent arrange

Is ritErts: not an ordinance requiring
people to shovel the snow off their side-walks,
and, if there is, why is it not enforced? The
shabby condition in which our side-walks and

either for the enterprise of the citizens, or the
efficiency of the officers.
8i ice the passage of the bankruptcy law,
about 160 cases have arisen under it in the
Nineteenth Congressional district, of which
75 or 80 ,have been from Eric county. As a
general thing, those who have availed them
selves of the act in our county are persons
who had become too hopelessly involved to
be able to free themselves from debt in any
other manner.
THE APPROACH of the Christmas holidays
invites dealers in all kinds of merchandise
suitable for presents to make their business
as generally known to the public as possible.
No better method could be adopted than ad
vertising, and as this journal reaches a large
class of readers who do not take any other
Erie newspaper, its advantages in this re
spect will be seen at a glance.
THE 'NUMBER of woe-begone creatures
seeking public leiief is on the increase. One
night this week thirteen persons were shel
tered at the police station, and ten in another.
They were mostly of the class called vagrants,
who travel from place to Mace, finding food
and lodging wherever the opportunity pre
sents. Many plans . have been devised to rid
the country of their presence, but none have
worked successfully.
Hos. Wm.' L. Scorr has been doing an
other of the magnanimous acts that have made
his name the synonym of generosity in this
community. Last week he donated to the
Monument Fund the sum of three hundred
dollars, being the largest' contribution that
has been received from any source. Mr.
Scott is one of the few men who do not for
get that the chief pleasure in possessing
wealth consists in the opportunity it affords
for assisting the cause of charity and patriot
ism, and the many deeds of kindness which
are linked with his. name justly entitle him
to the esteem of our citizens.
A FAIR for the benefit of the orphans in.
charge of the Fourth Street congregation
will commenbe in Farrar Hall on the 224
inst.; and a lively interest in it has already
been elicited, which promises to render it
scarcely less successful than the Monument
Fair last week. The ladies of the - church
have taken the 'matter{ In hand with true
feminine earnestness, and willspare no labor
to make the occasion at once enjoyable and
profitable. When we say that the orphans
are greatly in need of assistance, we say all
that will be required from our ever generous
community to secure one of its tnost emphatic
displays of liberality.
WE understand that several of the candi
dates for the Post office have .agreed to sub
mit their claims to the people at the next
spring election. It is proposed / that an ex
tra is be provided, in which each voter can
have his choice for Post Master deposited.
_This is a capital idea, and will be endorsed
by the whole community. There are strong
reasons why the'voice of the people should
be regarded in making a choice for this im
portant office, and no person who is worthy
of the position will decline to allow his
claims to be submitted to their decision. Let
us have a ,vote by all means. Everybody
who desires to see a popular and capable
man chosen as our next Postmaster should
insist 'upon a vote being taken.
WEnnderstand that Capt. G. P. Davis,, of
this city, at present' Deputy Marshal, is a
candidate for Marshal of the Western Dis
trict, with influential friends to support him.
The Captain is popular wherever he is
known, and our citizens to a man would be
glad to hear of his apimintmerit . J. W.
Brigden, Esq., of this city, we also learn, is a
candidate for Collector of Internal Revenue
under Grant's Administration: Mr. B. is a
relative by marriage of Vice President Col
fax and Senator Wade, and; with the, influ
ence they will undontkedly lend to him,
stands a fair chance with his competitors.
Other gentlemen are spoken of as candidates
for different positions, in addition to those
already mentioned in .our columns, but as
our information is not positive we will with - -
hold their'names at present.
Ora FRIEND Of the Dispatch thought ho
had a good thing upon 'us last week, and,
with a display of enterprise that the public
will join with us in wishing more frequent in
its columns of late, proceeded to lay it before
his readers in extenPo. We managed to get
even with him, as we make a 'practice of do
ing, and, instead of taking the matter good
naturedly, he commences, to call • names,
which is a sure sign of a ruffled temper. We
trust that by this time Our neighbor has re
covered his equanimity,and reached the con
clusion that those who like to poke fun at
others should be willing to take a little in re
turn,—though, we believe, it is generally ad
mitted that such persons seldom enjoy a joke
-on themselves. It is no part of onr intention to
be drawn Into imitating his bad elm& 51
present, but we may gently say, by way of
suggestion, that a paper which does not know
the difference between a Senator and a Con
gressman, and is almost daily obliged to cor
rect its own blunders, Iwill do well not to
piovoke a controversy on the subject of re
liability.
A ConnEsPosmfmr of the Dispatch admip-
Isters a well deserved rebuke to a writer who
Indulged in some severe aspersions upon the
character of the young ladies of this city.
He advises him that if he wishes to indulge
in the "spirit of reform" ho will find
plenty of roe % among the young men. "Go
to the salooni," he says, "where muggins Is
played or billiards are punched, and a sight
most - shocking will meet your eve. There
you will find young men of respectability,
who stand high in the estimation of the pub
lic—some of them communicants of churches
—considered devout, wasting away the pre.
cious moments of this life, which should be
spent iu business, study or other profitable
occupation. Go and work with them."
THE Disr.mti tells a story to the effect
that two heavy pieces of board, taken from
a box of plug tobacco, were split over Jim
Stewart's cranium without injuring him in
the slightest. The experiment, according to
our cotemporary, only cost the perpetrators
ten cents for each trial, which Jim thought
was making money fast and mighty easy.
He is willing to subniit himself to the test on
the same terms wherever it is thought de:sir:l
- and thinks of giving exhibitions over the
country. After the neat piece of 'carving
which the local editor of the Dispatch per
petrated on the Reed House curbstone, we
would be almost willing to bet that he can
surpass Jim on a lair trial.
SENiron Lownv may congratulate him
self .upon anothervictory gained. He has
spiked the Gazette's guns so effectually that
It has not even mentioned his name fur 'two
weeks. Our neighbor started out with a
valor that gave promise of wonderful things,
but a few shots from the Lowry battery
knocked all its martial ardor into a cocked
hat. The public were in hopes of seeing a
lively "mill," but the pitiable cowardice of
the Gazette has again disappointed,them. It
the anti-Lowry men possessed the merest
moiety of his pluck and perseverance, they
would soon regain their ascendency in the
county.
THE Young Men's Christian Association
Will not furnish a 'regular course of lectures
this w inter, but expect to employ , a few of
the leading lecturers at convenient periods.
They intend Inaugurating a series of free lec
tures by State and County speakth-s, to be
given in Walther's Hull, on the third .Monday
of each month. The first will be delivered
on Monday evening next by Hon. Geo. Con
nell, the Philadelphia Senator, on the
" Americagation of America," and as it is
pledged to be free from Radical politico, we
advise our. readers to be in- at+ endatc:!.
TUE Ni:w York Herald's W.,Aingmn cor
respondent says "Scofield is something of a
wag:" Yes, lie is, and the best Joke he hits
ever perpetrated is in making the leaders of
his party in this county believe he has a
chance to be elected U. S. Senator,, and set
ting them to support him for that office.
Each one believes that he will be Scofield's
and is successor, and working like a beaver to
shove him out of the road for that purpose.
WE CALL upon the authorities bq enforce
the ordinance prohibiting faSt driving in the
streets of the city. The snow has brought
out all the rapid nag.
and State Street resembles a well patronized
race track more than a business thoroughfare.
We do not blame the own - erg for wishing to
enjoy themselves, but public safety 'requires
that they should select some locality where,
there is less danger to life and limb.
THE EDITOR of the Gazette says he has
been trying Eilank Adams' velocipede ,and
didn't get thrown. In that respect he was
luckier than us, and we congratulate billion
